This document establishes a system of designation for profiles made of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) intended to be used for building applications. This system is intended to be used in product specification after the application is specified.




NOTE It is intended to use this system for the designation of PVC-U profiles for information related to technical literature of the manufacturer, not for the marking of the products.




This part is applicable to PVC-U profiles of any colour, obtained by a mono-extrusion or a co-extrusion process, with or without surface finishing (e.g. foil, paint or print).

This document defines minimum requirements for the surface finishing of PVC-U profiles.

Profiles for the management of electrical power cables, communication cables and power track systems used for the distribution of electrical power, profiles for windows or doors and profiles for guttering are not covered by this document .
